Chapter 285: Daigo Empowerment
Zhao Ling knew that he didn't have much time now, and he didn't have time to explain this to Chu He, so he could only hand over this task to Chu Xingyue, and hurriedly walked out of the small courtyard, seeing that the posture was to end the matter of Jeju City as soon as possible, and hurry back to Beijing one day.
Chu Xingyue added a cup of tea for herself and Chu He, and while sipping warm tea, she looked at her dumb eldest brother, and finally understood why heroes like eldest brother and father who can fight well are not favored by many people in the capital.
The reason is very simple, living in the capital, what you need is intrigue and exquisiteness, not straightforwardness and honesty, so even if you know that your father has a heavy army and has a great influence in the hearts of the people of Dawei, those big families in the capital still look down on the Jingbei Hou Mansion in Qingzhou.
In their eyes, the frankness is really the performance of a fool, even if that fool can fight and lead the troops again, it will not have the slightest effect on them.
I'm afraid that Zhao Ling should have been very disappointed when he knew that the princess he married was Chu Bingyue, because his wife's mother's family could not give him the support of the court, but was still a group of reckless men who could only move their fists.
Thinking of this, Chu Xingyue couldn't help but cover the corners of her mouth and laugh out loud, suddenly she was very grateful to Luo Yao, if it weren't for Zhao Ling giving birth to the illusion that Chu Bingyue's eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Luo Yao, with the influence of the Jingbei Hou Mansion in Beijing, I'm afraid she wouldn't be his Zhao Ling's wife.
Chu He watched his sister laugh as if she was smiling as if she was smiling while drinking tea, and stretched out her hand to pat Chu Xingyue's skull, and said, "What are you laughing at?" It's like being a thief. You haven't told me what has happened in the capital in the past two years? Also, looking at the prince's nervousness, is there something big going to happen in the capital? β
Chu Xingyue glanced at Chu He unexpectedly, raised her thumb and shook it at him: "It's okay, big brother, you are not stupid enough to be saved, you can barely be regarded as a child to teach." β
Chu He continued to pat Chu Xingyue's head: "Stinky girl, now even the eldest brother dares to make jokes, right?" In the past two years, your courage has become more and more accustomed to the prince. β
Chu Xingyue covered the sore skull, and complained to Chu He dissatisfiedly: "Don't hit me in the head again, otherwise you will become as stupid as you." β
"Hey! You've learned to dislike big brother, haven't you? Don't really say it, you have indeed grown a lot in Beijing this time, and you are not as stupid as before, when I return to Qingzhou, I will tell my father about your changes, and my father will feel at ease when he listens. β
Hearing Chu He say this, the delicate look on Chu Xingyue's face gradually faded, and was replaced by a sudden silence.
Chu He grew up watching Chu Bingyue, in this world, the people in the Jingbei Hou Mansion in Qingzhou are all Chu Bingyue's relatives, as relatives, how could they not find out about her changes?
It's just that this kind of thing is too appalling to travel through time and space, presumably Chu He never expected that the sister in front of him was no longer the previous Chu Bingyue, but there was another person living in Chu Bingyue's skin.
Chu He took another sip of tea, and when he saw Chu Xingyue lowering her head and not speaking, he thought that the little girl was really hurt by herself, so she reached out and rubbed Chu Xingyue's head again, and smiled lovingly: "Okay, are you still angry with big brother?" I promise you, I won't hit you in the head, what a little girl. β
Chu Xingyue barely pulled out a smile at the corner of her mouth, looking at Chu He, who was almost holding her in the palm of her hand, her heart was full of warmth.
Seeing this scene, Chun Xing is also full of joy, it's so good! The young lady can drink tea and chat with the prince again, you know, it has been two years since the last time they saw each other; Although it is only two springs, summers, autumns and winters, it is also a long time.
Chu He was still thinking about what Chu Xingyue had just said to Zhao Ling, and asked, "Xiaoyue, what is going to happen in the capital?" β
Chu Xingyue didn't want to hide it from her brother in this matter, after all, strictly speaking, this matter also involved the Jingbei Hou Mansion.
Chu Xingyue immediately put away the messy thoughts in her heart, and focused on teaching Chu He about the treacherous situation in the capital.
"Big brother, although you and your father are far away in Qingzhou, you should also know that in the past two years, the court has been fighting over the matter of establishing a prince; The emperor had nine sons, and all of them were adults, and as the emperor grew older, the matter of the prince was always brought up by the courtiers; Although no matter how many times the courtiers mentioned it, they were finally suppressed by the emperor, but if they did not leave the prince for a day, it was impossible for the dispute to stop. β
Chu He also knew about this, thinking of his sister's previous relationship with Zhao Xuan, Chu He looked at Chu Xingyue worriedly.
"Xiaoyue, do you still have King Xuan in your heart now?"
Chu Xingyue didn't expect Chu He to suddenly ask such a question to herself, and immediately felt like someone had scalded her butt with fire tongs, and she almost jumped up in shock, looking around left and right, for fear of being heard by others.
"Big brother, why are you so nervous, mention Zhao Xuan on Zhao Ling's territory, you are not afraid of being heard by his people, he ran angrily and tore us up."
Of course, Chu He knew that Chu Xingyue's words were a bit exaggerated, so he didn't take it to heart, but continued to ask: "Tell me first, do you still have that person in your heart?" β
Chu Xingyue immediately denied it: "Of course, I would have forgotten him a long time ago, if it weren't for the big brother you suddenly mentioned it, I would have forgotten that there is still this person in this world." β
Chu He was surprised by his sister's attitude towards Zhao Xuan, you must know that back then, his little sister could die or live for Zhao Xuan.
"Really? Didn't you say these things to coax my brother? β
Chu Xingyue sighed and said, "Big brother, can you trust me a little more?" I said that forgetting is forgetting, besides, will Zhao Xuan be as good as Zhao Ling? Big brother, you have also seen it with your own eyes, my husband is handsome and capable, and more importantly, he knows how to love me; I was stupid to abandon such a good husband to like a wolf-hearted guy who only has power in his heart. β
Seeing that Chu Xingyue's expression did not seem to be fake, Chu He finally breathed a sigh of relief, and now, he was completely relieved.
It seems that his stupid sister has finally opened up and seen clearly who is his beloved.
"Xiaoyue, you have really grown up and sensible, and my brother will be relieved when I hear you say this; Just like you said, now that the emperor has not yet established a prince, the battle between King Ling and King Xuan seems to have reached a fever pitch. β
Chu Xingyue didn't expect Chu He to care so much about Chu Bingyue's emotional problems, nodded at Chu He gratefully, and made a promise: "Big brother, I am no longer the stupid Xiaoyue I used to be, I know very well what I want, and I also know who I am as a woman." β
"Zhao Ling once told me that the battle for succession is like walking a tightrope, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss and never recover, so the moment I decided to be his wife, I knew what path I chose. Big brother, aren't you curious about what is going to happen in the capital? In fact, it is not difficult to guess at all, you don't need to think about it to know that from the moment you appear in Jeju City with the Black Armor Army, those people in the capital who are ready to move will no longer be able to hold back and stretch out their greedy minions towards the supreme power. β
Chu He's eyes rolled, and he quickly understood the meaning of Chu Xingyue's words: "You mean, there will be people who dare to defy the world's condemnation and do unexpected things. β
Chu Xingyue smiled mysteriously, "Among the nine sons of the emperor, only Zhao Ling is Zhao Xuan's opponent, and the court is also divided by the power of these two groups of princes. In the past, everyone was deceived by Emperor Showa's acting skills, thinking that the emperor's favorite and most beloved prince was King Xuan, so many people thought that nine out of ten of this throne belonged to him Zhao Xuan; But after this incident in Jeju City, I believe that many people will be shocked, come back to their senses in shock, and understand that in fact, the emperor's most beloved son is not the eldest prince Zhao Xuan, who has been favored since childhood, but the third prince Zhao Ling, who has been ignored and suppressed all along. β
"When everyone reacts, the pattern of the capital and the camp in the court will be greatly fluctuated and changed, at this time, do you think Zhao Xuan will not do unexpected things because he wants to keep his position?"
Chu He didn't quite believe Chu Xingyue's words, he always felt that this kind of thing was too crazy, and it was impossible for ordinary people to do it.
"Impossible, although King Xuan is ambitious, deep down he is not the kind of cruel person; When he was sent to Qingzhou by the emperor, I had contact with him, I know him, he would not do this. β
Chu Xingyue continued to sneer, looked at his eldest brother's innocent face, and said, "Yes, eldest brother, you are right, Zhao Xuan may still have a little conscience and will not do anything that destroys human nature; But don't forget, whose son Zhao Xuan is, and his inability to do it does not mean that that person will not be able to do it. β
"You mean the Queen? The queen has always had a reputation for being virtuous, how could she, a harem woman, do such a thing? β
Chu Xingyue made a smack sound: "Big brother, why are you so naΓ―ve? Didn't your father tell you not to believe any gossip casually, you know, those hearsay are often deceitful, even the furthest from the truth. β
"Xiaoyue, do you know something?"
Chu Xingyue said: "I don't know anything more than you, but I have personally come into contact with the Jiang family, her eyes are full of greedy desires, what to eat fast and recite Buddha, what is virtuous and dignified, these words are simply the biggest slander against her; The Jiang family I know is a ruthless woman who will not give up in order to achieve her goal. β
As she spoke, Chu Xingyue looked at the surprised Chu He and added: "Big brother, if you don't believe what I said, then please remember it well, I believe you have also heard about how the son ascended to the throne today; Jiang can personally support her husband to become the king of a country, with such skill and ability, do you dare to say that she is a very simple woman? β
